I only had the fries in terms of food, but it was good and came out insanely fast. Atmosphere wise it was a loud trivia night but it's been fun to play trivia and interact! The service is also great!

I can't say enough good things about McGinty's. We've been coming here for years and just had our wedding here. Everything was amazing!!! The food was fantastic, and the chef did a fantastic job with a special request. The sound system is brand new and top-notch. And the owner, Debbie, is so wonderful, and so happy for her that this is now her place!!

Most of the food we received was blend and in need of seasoning, like the shepherd’s pie and the fish ‘n chips. The burger was ordered medium well and came out borderline raw. The second version that came out was blend as well. Service wise, despite the restaurant not being crowded, our plates kept piling up and were not picked throughout the night. While the staff were friendly, they were not very attentive. Missed opportunity on additional drinks. Bummer.

Great food, terrible service.Sat at the bar and had some of our hockey teammates trickle in. Place was vacant, only one other party at the bar and no one in the restaurant. I went to the bathroom and they threw away my food, said “someone” told them it was ok. More than half of the food was left.When the check came they kept the meal on and charged a “large party” fee, despite every one of us sitting at the bar.Manager was a jerk when I brought it up. Not worth it.

Disappointing that we were told they won't serve us alcoholic drinks because we didn't have an Id they accepted; nevermind that we've been there before and used our ID from our home country at this establishment without issue. We offered to provide a scanned copy with visa and all from our phones but they insisted on a physical one. Sad that now we must find a new bar to go to, more accepting to tourists not willing to walk around with their physical passports but have other forms of ID from their home country.

Think Twice: Getting there one has to deal with people smoking dope and skateboarders. The first floor was full at 6:45 and, because I had a cane and couldn't take the stairs and the elevator was broken we were told to enter the second floor through the mall with several darkened storefronts. The entry was fine. The ambiance truly Irish. there we're only high tops with no backs to chairs. Menu fine, beers fine. Unfortunately there was a band attempting to do sound checks for their 7:00 start. Sound checks included screeching feed back, resounding symbols dropped on live mikes multiple times and a constant "check one, check one, check, check" from 6:50 to 7:50 when we were able to get our check and get out of there. Burgers were good, fish and chips passable and Shepherds pie like I've never seen before. Waitress was very nice and helpful in the midst of this odd experience. As we attempted to leave we were ushered back by police due to shoplifting and fist fights by locals. much of the above is understandably not the fault of the establishment but you can guarantee the next time I'm in .silver .spring I won't be running here.
My wife and I were in town for the weekend. We found this pub and decided to try it out. Not being from the area, it was a little hard to find, but as soon as we walked in the door, we could tell it was perfect. It is small so we say at the bar. Everything was spot on, from the drinks to the meal. I wish I could go back every week. Food... great! I highly recommend McGinty.

Great stop for me and a couple buddies. Comfortable Irish pub with very friendly staff! The owner even spent some time with us sharing a story or two about the old country.! I had the Shepherds Pie and it was delicious. My friends had the Reuben and the lasagna, both were fantastic. Enjoyed the atmosphere, good bar with great staff.
